Department  of  Chemistry 
Gilman  Hall 

Gilman  Hall  was  erected  in  1916-17.  It  is  named 
in  honor  of  Daniel  Coit  Gilman,  President  of  the  Uni- 
versity, 1872-1875,  later  President  of  Johns  Hopkins 
University,  and  under  whose  administration  the  Col- 
lege of  Chemistry  was  organized.  Built  at  a cost  of 
over  $200,000,  it  is  being  gradually  equipped  for  re- 

[16] 


search  work  in  pure  and  applied  chemistry.  Consider- 
able machinery  and  apparatus  have  already  been 
installed  and  various  investigations  are  being  carried 
out.  This  building  also  houses  the  Chemistry  Depart- 
ment Library,  containing  a number  of  the  most  impor- 
tant periodicals  and  books  on  chemistry.

The  Bancroft  Library 

One  of  the  notable  possessions  of  the  University  of 
California  is  the  collection  of  materials  for  the  history 
of  Western  America  which  was  assembled  by  the  late 
Hubert  Howe  Bancroft.  Bancroft’s  first  interest  in 
the  history  of  the  Pacific  coast  was  that  of  a book 
dealer.  He  set  out  later  to  write  a history  of  Cali- 
fornia, but  his  subject  led  him  inevitably  into  the 
story  of  the  whole  Pacific  Slope  from  Panama  to 
Alaska.  The  result  when  completed  was  thirty-nine 
large  volumes  arranged  in  series  under  the  titles  of 
The  Native  Races , Central  America , Mexico , North  Mex- 
ican States  and  Texas , Arizona  and  New  Mexico , Cali- 
fornia, etc.  These  solid  and  learned  tomes,  with  their 
rare  bibliographies,  stand  today  as  a monument  to  the 
greatest  feat  of  co-operative  history  writing  ever  per- 
formed. 

Bancroft’s  influence  did  not  end  with  the  comple- 
tion of  his  great  history  a quarter  of  a century  ago,  for 
his  rare  library  has  become  the  center  of  historical 
activities  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  In  1906  the  collection, 
appraised  at  half  a million,  was  purchased  by  the 
Begents  of  the  University  of  California  for  the  modest 
sum  of  $150,000.  For  several  years  it  was  housed  in 
the  attic  of  California  Hall,  but  was  later  transferred 
to  the  new  Doe  Library  building.  There  it  has  become 
the  workshop  of  one  of  the  largest  groups  of  advanced 
history  students  in  the  country,  and  the  center  of  a 
Western  “school”  of  historians  of  America  who  have 
won  wide  recognition. 

There  can  be  no  reasonable  doubt  that  this  is  the 
most  remarkable  collection  of  unpublished  documentary 
material  at  the  disposal  of  students  in  any  American 
university.  The  individual  manuscript  documents 
which  are  as  yet  unprinted  may  be  estimated  at  two 

[27] 


hundred  thousand,  and  these  are  continually  receiving 
additions  in  the  form  of  transcripts  from  the  archives 
of  Mexico  and  Spain.  The  manuscripts  relate  more 
especially  to  the  history  of  California,  but  they  also 
cover  the  history  of  Spanish  activities  in  Mexico,  Cen- 
tral America,  Louisiana,  the  Southwest,  and  the  Pacific 
Coast.  In  addition  to  those  in  the  Bancroft  Collection, 
a large  private  collection  of  transcripts  from  Mexican 
archives  relating  to  the  early  history  of  Texas  and 
New  Mexico  has  become  available  to  graduate  students 
of  the  University.  The  collection  of  printed  materials 
on  Western  and  Spanish  American  history  is  even 
richer  than  those  in  manuscript. 


The  Library  of  French  Thought 

The  Library  of  French  Thought,  presented  to  the 
University  of  California  and  placed  under  the  patron- 
age of  the  Friends  of  France,  was  formed  for  exhibition 
at  the  Panama-Pacific  International  Exposition,  held 
in  San  Francisco  in  1915.  The  books  which  compose 
it  were  assembled  shortly  after  the  battle  of  the 
Marne,  at  a time  when  France,  after  winning  an 
epochal  victory,  was  still  fighting  for  her  territory 
and  her  very  life.  Were  it  only  for  this  fact  the 
Library  of  French  Thought  would  constitute  a prec- 
ious testimony  of  the  undying  spirit  of  the  French 
nation. 

With  the  enemy  less  than  fifty  miles  from  Paris, 
the  French  government  requested  certain  French  schol- 
ars to  write  a series  of  short  studies,  followed  by  bibli- 
ographies, on  the  contribution  to  science  made  by 
France  in  their  particular  fields.  From  the  works 
therein  enumerated  a certain  number  were  selected, 
classified  and  sent  to  San  Francisco,  where  they  re- 
mained available  for  the  public  during  the  Exposition 
in  the  Salle  de  la  Fensee  Frangaise  of  the  French 
Pavilion. 

Thanks  to  the  generosity  of  the  French  government 
and  the  combined  efforts  of  the  Friends  of  France  and

the  Regents  of  the  University  of  California,  the  collec- 
tion, after  serving  part  of  its  purpose  during  the  Expo- 
sition, has  been  installed  in  a special  room  in  the 
University  Library  and  is  now  accessible  to  the  gen- 
eral public  and  to  the  university  community. 

The  collection  was  formally  dedicated  by  the  Friends 
of  France  on  September  6 (Lafayette  Lay),  1917,  the 
French  government  being  officially  represented  on  the 
occasion  by  M.  Edouard  de  Billy,  deputy  high  com- 
missioner of  France  to  the  United  States,  and  three 
officers  of  the  French  army. 

Open  to  visitors  daily  from  11:00  to  12:00  m.,  and
